'1 he Richmond Whig, of the 21st, refers to the cus tonus and government established by Lycurgns, under which Sparta enjoyed unprecedented proeperity and renown, end. made a name aud fame (or heisell which to the present d tv places her at the head cf the list in the catalogue of chivalry. Oae of the prominent acts of this great Spartan Lgisiator was the repudtatii of the precious metals as currency, and the substim tion of iron coin, ot great weight and bulk, and little value. He a'so prohibited commercial, and ail cthet dispensab e iut rcourse with scrrouDdirjg countries, thus striking a paralyzing biow at legiiimate trade, a well as speculation and extortion, and eon fining tb c Mintry to ita own resources. The obji ct was to bring the inhabitants to an equality in ' all respects, and to t& ch them love cf country rather than love ot trea sure and opulence. Tbe Whig remarks : 44 We would not Commend the literal adoption of these m-asures for ouc own country, but to the mind of the tboughtlui and the observant they are suggestive;" and at-ks : "JJaveve no L carges to frame a policy suited to this mi ?" The inquiry seems to be a pertinent one, since tbe spirit cf gain ut d speculation is so broadly infused in'o the people as to threaten defeat to the cause of libertj, to far as the present generation is concerned. To the people of this age cf the world, there is pro bably no event in recordtd histcry so well established, tbat is so d.fiicult to realiza the truth of, as the char acter and success of tbe government of this famou political phiiosoper. When he undertook to rem di, the d. lapidated government oi Sparta, be fessd tb. greatest disparity in the condition of the two classes of its ir habitants. There were these who mcnopoliz d the lands and wealth oftbe country, and those who ex isted in txtreme poverty. Ibt se classes might be well characterized by the two extremes presented in the in -habitants of a large city, except that the very poor were mere numerous in relative proportion. To place all the inhabitants ot Sparta on a scale of ftjaa'ity, and to implant ia them uubounded devotion to their country, and unyielding course in battle, Ly enrgus found it necessary to cut cit ihe res mrces froo which the natural aspirations of maa were fed and stimulated. It was no contracted mind that cou d de vise schemes to bring the rich and poor to one com mon level, without any prospect or deire to be o her wise than equal ; and to teach mothers to inflict tbe oeverest casugfUions on their children for the purpose of inuring them to hardship ; to expose their feeble offeprhg that they might die rather than encumber the State with men not fj'ted to make efficient soldiers, and to thank tbe gods when their sons fell in battle, since it was ths. irreat object for which they were brought up. In tbe gcverument of Ljcuruua, the peo ple took their meals oaiy at public lablea, duriog waieb thc-y amustd themstLes by asking and answering intri cate questions, which was the principal intellectual tiaiuiLg that was tokrattd. Under th;3 rigiJ discip line the Spartans became robust, contented and brave, and the Slate acquired great political and military power. The y were entiidy devoted to the service o thtir ccuntry, while their karier was not less devoted to his enterprise. When he had the gratification of seeiDg his government ful;y inaugurated, and the people hap py and tbe country icdepebdent and prosperom, he pledged the people to maintain it until he saould in qatie ot the Oracle at Deiphoa and return Bat in Or el r that tbe pledge might bj perpetual he refused to eat or driLk, and thus dieu a volun.ary death at Dei phoa, after bavins? the assurance trom tfce Oracle tiiat bis government was good and complete. However much we my admire the irpartan character and some o' tbe train ng on .which it depended, atd however great may be our esteem for the sagacity of the great man who introduced this rtmaikable fjoverr ment, we can neither advtcate ihe end obtained nor the ra ana used to accomplish the pat pose. In the fi.st place Lycurgus beoama popular with the masses by appiopnatiug tbe substance of tbe weql by to tbe poor. He mide further progress by subverting not only the estabiibhed usages of all precfeJug agts and .nations, bat the principles ol justice ; and iu ordei to maintain this new order uf things, exe'u 1 d tbe Aria and Sciences a? far as practicable, aud cooSadd those that were essential, racs ly to slaves. By uese meaDs he establish;' Nis Eyetem of government, which eaibod ied a beautiful tb?ory, and was remarkably successful as a Military Sciioc,', under which tbe peop e and coun try prospered for abuat five hundred years. But for ail the good accomplishad there was a more than coun terbalancing evil. Enterprise, literary aspiratiocs and refined civilization wers lost, aud although Republican ism or Democracy was claimed to enter large'y into the government, libkrty, aa recognised by the people of the present day, wj also virtually l03t. After en impartial comparison of brave and bloody Sparta and her unnatural law?, with other nations which are les3 famous in history, but which have done more to civilize and enlighten tne human race, we are mere thoroughly convinced that arbitrary ruk3 and exercise of power, however wholesome they may be in a eiven ex gencv, will eventually produce toeir legitimate! deliterious ma aences. Afier many generations of .prosperity, tbe country tbat bad suppressed political airitea, covetous discsi tioLifi arid prodigality, was overrua by the very v-et which had so Io. g been emotcered. Ambitiorj r8' sundtred the fetters of the great legislator, und was 6oou folbwed by the evils known to the age. Avrice and jicentiouaneEB eeem to spring up from the nebea of ctintentment and chastity. Tne great secret of the sac-ess of Lycurgus lay in bis rigid trai.icg of tbe yoata of the land, and all tbe great change-? made by bim were introduced gradaally, aa the miad ol tbe peo ple was tempe-ed to me-et them. Then, if we have & Lycorgus, we bope bo will begio hia wori of retora ia tin ngat place tie ccrserj of he nextgerjeratio3 and not proceed ia hasty rash ness to establish strange laws and interfere with private rights. Let him begin his work at tbe foundation, aud in- ulcate the principles of b-nevo!ence, patriotism and philanthrophy in the youths of tne land, and so prepare tbe mind of tbe risicg generation for the toleration and f xercise of the nobler faculties, and thu3 dispecso with many of the evils of the present day.
